Description
Framed for murder and cast off a floating city into the abyss, a young boy grapples with the monsters the elite high above would rather forget…
Rudo lives in the slums of a floating city, where the poor scrape by under the shadow of the rich who live a sumptuous life, simply casting their garbage off the side, into the abyss. Then one day, he's falsely accused of murder, and his wrongful conviction leads to an unimaginable punishment--exile off the edge, with the rest of the trash.
Down on the surface, the cast-off waste of humanity has bred vicious monsters, and if Rudo wants to have any hope of discovering the truth and seeking vengeance, he will have to master a new power and join a group known as "The Cleaners" who battle the hulking trash beasts of the Pit!
The more the rich glitter, the higher the price paid by the poor in this gritty, action-adventure manga with dark graffiti-inspired art, perfect for fans of Battle Angel Alita and Deadman Wonderland.

Advance Praise
"This was an INSANELY strong start to a series. It oozes style and punk anger at the establishment." - Goodreads Reviewer
"The most obvious reason why Gachiakuta is worth its hype is because of its artwork. Not only does series creator Kei Urana’s art style always perfectly lend itself to the chaotic nature of the story with stellar designs, cinematic paneling, and generally gorgeous visuals, but she even uses graffiti from designer Ando Hideyoshi to further emphasize the story’s punk nature, and it’s always to tremendous effect. Gachiakuta has some of the best art in modern manga, both in terms of composition and general visuals, " - Screen Rant
"I had a lot of fun with this manga, especially with the unusual, very cool art style. Gachiakuta's world seems interesting, and author Urana leaves multiple plot hooks to be explored in the future..." - Anime News Network
